University of
Missouri-Extension is hosting a hands-on produce packing and grading workshop
for producers interested in selling to institutions or wholesale markets. As
demands for locally grown produce continue to rise, it’s important for
producers to add practical skills and marketing tools to their arsenal.
At this FREE workshop, representatives
from the USDA, Missouri Department of Agriculture, Institutional buyers and
producers will be on hand to lead workshop activities and speak to their
experience in buying and selling locally. Participants will gain skills in
packing and grading specialty crops such as tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers
and blackberries along with other in season crops.
This learning
opportunity will be a great chance to network with other growers and learn from
each other during this informative evening session. Feel free to bring a couple
of your farm employees so they may gain experience and learn alongside the
professionals.
For reservations
